When Death Invites to a Card Game
On November 7, 2026, the curtain will rise at the Augsburg Puppet Theatre for The Brandner Kaspar and the Eternal Life. This Bavarian cult piece combines coarse wit, poetic wisdom of life, and the great question of whether fate can truly be outsmarted.
A Clever Pact with the Boandlkramer
Brandner Kaspar meets Death not with fear, but with cherry brandy, cunning, and a game of cards. The Boandlkramer becomes an unusual opponent, while the comedic exchanges lead to a touching reflection on the joy of life, mortality, and the value of the moment.
Puppet Theatre with Bavarian Soul
The production by the Augsburg Puppet Theatre focuses on the special precision of puppet theatre. The stage design, lighting atmosphere, and manipulation of figures coalesce into a theatrical ambiance, where every movement gains meaning. Between folk comedy and quiet moments, a stage experience unfolds rich in characterful language and vivid imagery.
Kurt Wilhelm's Classic on the Puppet Theatre Stage
Kurt Wilhelm's adaptation is among the best-known versions of the material. Its dramaturgy thrives on the shift between playful wit and existential contemplation. The Augsburg Puppet Theatre continues this tradition with artisan precision, regional color, and the unmistakable acting artistry of its figures.

The performance is aimed at visitors aged twelve and older. Those who appreciate folk plays, puppet theatre, and Bavarian cultural history will experience an evening that starts humorously and resonates long after. The venue at the Holy Spirit Hospital is accessible; for arrival, public transport is recommended.
